Acer Launches a Pair Of 3D LCDs

[citation][nom]ap3x[/nom]You sir are 100% incorrect. 120Hz TV's came out before the 3d stuff started getting popular. 120Hz makes a huge impact to how we see the picture. Try watching a Movie like Matrix or Batman with that feature enabled and you will want to turn it off because it makes everything look fake. They call it the "Soap Opera" effect (Look it up) because it make things that are shot at 24fps look like 60fps. Smooths out the motion and also seems to make the imagery look allot more realistic so much so you can see in movies with allot of special effects what was really and what was not. The purpose for it on computer monitors though are really because it makes 3d experience better on that format but to say that 120/240 and the like are just for gaming is not true at all.Now, when you have it enabled for gaming on the TV it almost makes the game pop out of the screen all by itself and then when you use 3d on top of that the effect works very well with minimal eyestrain. I also why these monitors are typically TN monitors instead of IPS. IPS has more latency, you are not going to find a affordable 2-5ms IPS monitor. They are all over 10ms. It is also the reason why everything is 1080p as apposed to higher resolution that everyone wants. It is based on the same tech they have in the TV's which are now above 240hz. My guess is that for gaming, 3d and 120Hz probably looks fantastic but for other tasks maybe not so much. One day they will have higher resolutions at 120hz but that is going to take some time to work out and the value will probably have to be beyond just gaming on your computer. Another thing 120hz is great for is animated movies or CG movies as well as live events. The level of detail and the smoothness of the video really makes it pop out the screen.[/citation]
3d vision requires not only requires a monitor capable of outputting an video at 120hz, it also requires the ability of receiving an input of 120hz. Most of not all 3d tvs don't have 120hz input.

i have no idea what your talking about apex. 120hrz looks amazing. the 3D effect however looks stupid. While i do want higher res then 1080 i don't want to turn off 120hrz while watching tv all it made me want is something with a higher refresh to see how much better the picture could get.

I got the 27 inch the day it became available at NewEgg(of course it took 2 days to arrive UPS).It is way better than my Asus 23.6 inch(have 3 in Nvidia Surround)I plan on doing the same with the 27 inch Acer's when I save a few more dollars.Overall,I am satisfied with how the 3d works and how it looked str8 out of the box....will post if I have any issues...but I can't complain so far..
